Hi Mr Sunil

Do you have any idea why IITD and IITM have Written Test followed by  Interview for Finalizing MS-R Candidates?

Preparation required for Written test is any different from Interview Preparation?  

Any guidance on how to go about preparing for both would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sri

Hello Sri,

MSR is a research based degree (often dubbed as mini-PhD). Screening the candidates (who are often large in numbers) for limited projects available under the faculty of IITs becomes really very important. You cant interview fifties/hundreds of candidates for 2-3 positions. Written followed by interview thus becomes inevitable.

Not much special needs to be covered for written n interview. Focus well on concepts related to the specialization you are applying for. Focus very well on your project. Stay confident in interview. If you are not able to answer a question in the interview just express it humbly rather than sitting mute.

All the best

Best wishes
Sunil
